Ibanez JEM7VL Steve Vai Jem Left-Handed Electric Guitar (with Case)

Innovations from the guitars created by Steve and Ibanez designers can be found in so many of their instruments, from pro through entry level. Then there's Steve Vai's Universe, the guitar that ignited the 7-string revolution in rock.

When Steve Vai guitars, with their lightening Edge tremolos, lightning fast 2-octave necks, and beautifully sculpted bodies came out in 1987, they were cutting edge. In 2001, they're still cutting edge. And that's the mark of a true classic.
